Through the streets of Barcelona and the palace which holds his paints and canvases, we will explore and discover the life and work of this amazing artist. Prolific (more than 16. 000 works documented), talented (painting as a master at 15 years old), classic and modern. . . we will admire his work done through the different periods of his life that placed him on prominent place at the history of painting. His father was a teacher of fine arts, was sent to Barcelona to teach. They were in Barcelona between the 1895 to 1904 when Picasso was growing as a person and as an artist. These were important formative years. We will visit also the 4 Gats, the coffee place where Picasso made his first exhibition. Also the place where the artist met his friends, the bohemian circles that inspired him. We will also go to the Picasso Museum, three beautiful palaces that hold Picasso's work from when he was 14 years old to mature stages. We will understand also how the city became the main character in his life.
Eduardo is an excellent guide. A born enthusiast, his passion for Picasso and art is contagious. We particularly appreciated how he drew us to the key paintings in each room of the Picasso Museum and explained their place in Picasso's evolution as an artist. He was also eager to share the best of his Barcelona with us - his favorite tapas bars and streets to wander. A very soulful and endearing man. Highly recommended.
Eduardo is a "first class" professional guide who really makes an extra effort to insure an incredibly enjoyable and informative experience. He is very observant and caters to the interests of his clients. He gave us a recommendation for tapas and wine afterwards and made sure the cab driver took us to the correct place. If we could have rated him a 6, we would have done so.
A really nice tour with an really friendly guide. Thanks to Eduardo
